7 Sure Ways To Immigrate To Canada
Trade Agreements:
This is where two countries are in trade agreements. Canada has trade agreements that allow for certain immigration exemptions. These agreements are only open to citizens from the following countries: Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Iceland, and Israel. In addition, any citizen who works with a company that either has a Canadian operation or has a contract with a Canadian company may be able to work in Canada. This is called ”Nafta Visa”. These lists are bound to increase in the future as Canada has so many free trade agreements in the works.
Work Permit with Job Offer:
If you are a university graduate, skilled or semi-skilled for most people, the simplest way to enter Canada is to apply for a work permit visa. However, there are two problems with this:
First, You have to be able to convince the Canadian employer why you should be given the job over a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident.
Second, Your employer should be able to convince Human Resources Development Canada why they should hire a foreign worker, as no Canadian can do the work. ( A labor market opinion). Third, if you have any contact in Canada, contact them and see if they know anyone that is hiring, which seems to be the easiest way.
Spousal Sponsorship:
Having a Canadian spouse is one of the easiest ways into Canada. Unfortunately, the case of marriage fraud is high. IRCC is cracking down on marriage fraud. ( that is a sham marriage). To achieve this, ensure your relationship with your Canadian spouse is real. There is now a two-year period where IRCC (immigration, refugees, citizenship, and Canada) will check up on you when you are approved.
International Experience Canada (IEC), AKA Working Holiday:
You can enter Canada on an open work permit if you are between 18 and 35 and from a selected group of countries. Which means you won’t need a job offer. Participating countries are Australia, Belgium, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, and the Czech Republic. This is open to citizens of the above-listed countries aged 18-35, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.
Live-In Caregiver (Program Currently Closed):
This program is for those who are not skilled workers; with only a high school education, a job offer, and six-month training or a year of caregiver experience, you could get a work permit. Its called ” live-in-caregiver program”. It is easier to get an employer with this program as numerous agencies specialize in matching employers with foreign caregivers.
Schooling/Study Permit:
Another way to enter Canada is by studying at a Canadian university or college. Suppose you can afford it through a scholarship award. After graduation, it usually takes a job offer and a commitment to remain in the province at the very least. Knowing that your work while still a student will not count towards any work experience is pertinent.
Visit/Tourist Visa/Permit:
This is the easiest way to immigrate to Canada. However, you can not work in Canada with such a visa. However, you are allowed to stay in Canada for six months. While in Canada, you can communicate with potential employers about future work. You will then need another reason to visit Canada. While in Canada for six months, try making a few connections so that you can apply for a work permit when you get to your home country.
